Speaking during a courtesy Visit to the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu in his palace yesterday. Chief Iwuanyanwu, while appealing to the monarch for a renewed relationship between the igbo and Yoruba in Lagos said “During the election, we Igbo didn’t vote for Bola because we were told it’s our turn”.
Bola was very good to us when he was governor, he treated Ndigbo very well during the time of governorship, Igbo in Lagos came to me and I told them to support Governor Sanwo-Olu.
But the President of Nigeria today is Bola Tinubu, Ohanaeze has pledged our loyalty to support our brother he was gladly nominated by his party, The All Progressive Congress (APC) He went for the election and was declared the winner, People went to the tribunal ,and the tribunal said Tinubu won, They went to the Supreme Court, And the Apex Court said he won.
I can tell you now as the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo , That Ndigbo have resolved that we are going to give total support to President Tinubu.Let him believe us, I am the leader of Ndigbo.
“What we want from Tinubu is justice, fairness and equity.we don’t want to take another person‘s state; whatever is our right should be given to us. We are going to support him, we are going to be loyal to him, and anybody that fighs him unjustly we are going to join him to fight such a person, but all we want is for him to give us our rights. The Ohanaeze leader , however reiterated that there was no rift between the Yoruba and Igbo. “There’s no rift . Igbo and Yoruba have no problem at all” Our Parents in igboland always tell us that wherever we go, we should obey the laws of the people. I am also advising the younger generation to cultivate the habit of obeying the laws of the land, as it is too late to talk about separation between Ndigbo and Yoruba, We are now Inseparable .
Responding , Oba Akiolu urged Igbo in Lagos to play by the rules. He said ” We know igbo’s are very hard workers, but you have to respect the owners of the land. We have identified the problem in Nigeria,and What we want is solution”. I am appealing to you in the name of God, The Governor cannot deliberately destroy your property. Just play according to the rules of the game. To the igbo, anybody who wishes the best for Lagos is a lagosian. I assure Ndigbo that Nobody will Maliciously Mistreat You. Oba Rilwan Akiolu Said.
